Get ready to groove with Silky Roads, the Sydney-based electro-pop powerhouse turning heads and moving feet across the country. Since forming in 2019, this high-energy quartet has been on a relentless ascent, and 2026 is already their most explosive year yet.

​

Their sophomore EP, 'Wallflower,' dropped in September 2025 and has since rocketed past 4 million streams on Spotify alone — a testament to a sound that’s equal parts sleek and emotionally charged. That momentum fueled their 'Wallflower Tour,' taking their signature silky blend of beats and melody from Melbourne to Noosa, with packed rooms in Sydney and the Central Coast along the way.

​

So what makes Silky Roads impossible to ignore? Their music is a masterclass in modern electro-pop — soulful, kinetic, and built for the dancefloor. Think the hypnotic pulse of Jungle colliding with Daft Punk’s polish, reimagined through a uniquely Australian lens. Onstage, it translates to pure electricity: four musicians locked in, delivering a live show that’s as tight as it is euphoric.

​

But Silky Roads isn’t just a sound — it’s a world. The band is obsessed with aesthetic, crafting a universe of dark cityscapes and neon lights that invites fans to step inside the mind of Silky Roads. Every release, visual, and live show is designed to immerse you in that after-hours, cinematic energy.

​

The band’s resume already reads like a who’s who of the scene, sharing bills with The Rions, No Cigar (NZ), and Winston Surfshirt. But 2026 has kicked things into overdrive. They rang in the year with a standout set at the iconic Woodford Folk Festival 2025/2026, followed by a massive support slot for acclaimed act Mind Enterprises at Liberty Hall, playing to over 1,000 people. They’ve also ticked off their debut at Sydney’s legendary Roundhouse supporting Baxter Dury, and will make their first showcase at BIGSOUND 2026 — a career milestone for any rising act.

​

So, who’s driving this sonic machine? Guy Richards on guitar and vocals, Mitch Dunn on keys, Luke Sandberg on drums, and Nick White on bass. Their chemistry is undeniable, their creativity relentless — it’s no wonder they’ve been hailed as “a breath of fresh air” in the Sydney music scene.

​

Looking ahead, Silky Roads aren’t slowing down. A highly anticipated third EP is set for release this year, launching with a string of singles from May, backed by an extensive East Coast touring run. With over 100,000 monthly listeners, major festival plays, and industry doors opening fast, Silky Roads aren’t just ones to watch — they’re the band setting the pace.
